Prolia versus Tymlos for osteoporosis: Why choose one over the other?

@broken 13 The endocrinologist I see says that all the Forteo headaches are caused by vasodilation Nausea might be caused by increased serum calcium, or a loss of sense of balance from blood pressure drop.
You might try a having something a little salty before injecting and a glass of water. The salt causes a balancing vasoconstriction and the extra fluid reduces the blood pressure drop.
My blood pressure does drop almost immediately with the injection, but I haven't had any side effect with Forteo. I haven't gained any belly fat. I inject in my right thigh; it still looks exactly like my left thigh. I so like this drug. The dxa after a year wasn't impressive for bmw
and certainly didn't put me in clear, but I may not be taking enough calcium.
Did you have headaches eight years ago.

I'm not sure if my response got posted correctly in reply to your question, but I actually cannot recall side effects of first time on Forteo, as I was on pain meds and bedridden at the time. I do recall nausea for the first 3 months.

That is an excellent tip, and does make sense, as I have been craving salt! 8 years ago I was in very bad shape with so many consecutive spinal compression fractures. Hospitalized and sent home in a wheel chair. It was a challenging recovery, but I was also on narcotic pain meds, so do not recall headaches. Upset stomach for sure, but also likely due to the meds. Within 3 months of Forteo, I started healing and had no further fractures. I believe it is one of the 'cleaner' drugs and builds bone. I am concerned about going too much past the 24 month initial treatment though and hoped to only do 6 months, but now considering a year as getting a little nervous about some of the comments about Evenity. Do you have a follow up plan for after Forteo?
